| About the Book | |
|
The God Child-Abandoned explores, from a psychotherapist's perspective, several dimensions of being human, including psychology, religion, pretence, guilt, human nature, learning, politics, love, fear, money, democracy, spirit as transcendent and powerful, spiritual archeology, and many others. It postulates that the human spirit can't be studied by examining the brain. The human spirit is an intangible, transcendent, potentially powerful instrument, which frightens and intimidates us because it separates us from everyone and everything else in its unique and singular peculiarities. It's intangibility is the rub. We don't want to occupy what can't be felt, seen or "proved". As a result we remain primitive in our evolution as a species. We relate to things easily and very cleverly. But we are usually very clumsy in relating to ourselves and to other people, and effort that requires greater skill than dealing with things. Psychology is the first time we've begun to seriously understand ourselves. But psychology is trapped in the within the limiting confines of an ancient metaphor ... "medicine" and "health". When it needs desperately to be applied and understood in a much larger context ... our entire life. To make psychology just a cure for crazies, is like confining Einstein's E=MC2 to be just a computer game.
